Chapter Twenty-Three: She Needs Strong Arms
Yinglong and Shiwei sat on the grass, and you and I ate the mustard and shredded pork in the lunch box one bite at a time.
Shiwei ate very happily, and couldn't help but praise Yinglong's good craftsmanship, but she didn't expect him to be a big boy who could make such delicious dishes.
"The food you make is not salty or light, and the taste is just right. β
Shiwei said to Yinglong with a smile.
"yes? I thought no one liked my cooking. β
Yinglong looked a little satisfied, he didn't expect Shiwei to like to eat the dishes he cooked.
"How can no one like it? Don't I just like your cooking, these peanuts are fried just right, very crispy, how do you do it, what's the trick?"
Shiwei asked curiously, the peanuts she fried before were not so crispy and trendy, and they didn't have the taste made by Yinglong.
"Well, I can't say any tricks, just use cold oil in the pot when stir-frying, turn a few more times, and wait for the peanuts to turn yellow. β
Yinglong didn't think there was anything to say, which was not surprising, he had also learned it from a cooking book before.
"It turns out that this is the case, every time I fry peanuts in hot oil, they are almost burned, no wonder the taste is not good. β
Shiwei seemed to suddenly realize that there was still such a trick in fried peanuts.
Shi Wei and Yinglong ate almost all the vegetables in the lunch box after a while, and only a few sparse shredded mustard were left.
Yinglong stared at the few mustards in the lunch box, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Shiwei, your appetite is so good, you've eaten almost, I'll bring more next time. β
Shiwei smiled shyly and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"Yinglong, I'm so sorry, I ate all your dishes, and you can only eat in the cafeteria this week. β
Yinglong stroked the end of Shiwei's hair.
"You can eat, I brought it on purpose, I knew that you didn't eat well at school, so I brought these dishes. β
"Yes, you know I didn't eat well and brought it on purpose?"
Shiwei looked at Yinglong gratefully, a happy smile on her face.
"As for the cafeteria, I don't know yet, it's good that you can eat enough, I don't have an appetite. β
Yinglong put his arm around Shiwei's shoulders and patted her gently.
"Yinglong, you really understand me, thank you. β
Shi Wei sighed as she spoke.
"But this time you're full, so let's go for a walk and digest it. β
Shiwei smiled embarrassedly and gently pushed Yinglong: "You're afraid that I'll break up, right?"
"What are you talking about? β
Yinglong put away the lunch box, Shiwei threw the remaining few mustard shreds on the grass in front of her, and in an instant, a few ants quickly crawled over and surrounded the mustard shreds and gnawed them.
Shiwei stared at the ants on the ground, her eyes widened with curiosity.
"Look at these ants, are they hungry?"
Yinglong followed Shiwei's gaze and did find that a bunch of ants slowly gathered on the ground, surrounding those few mustard shreds.
"These ants must have never eaten anything so good, they must be hungry. "Yinglong doesn't seem to care.
Shiwei stretched out a finger and pointed at the ants on the ground.
"Ants still steal life, let alone people?"
Yinglong felt that what Shiwei said was a little philosophical, and couldn't help but look into her eyes.
Shiwei's eyes sparkled, and her long eyelashes blinked.
"Shiwei, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if you save these ants, maybe there will be good rewards in the future. β
Yinglong said faintly, reaching out and stroking Shiwei's slender jade hand.
Shiwei's skin is very white, and it feels very soft to the touch, with a hint of coolness, but Shiwei's palms are very warm.
"These shredded mustard sticks are enough for them to eat for a few days, and you brought them food. β
Shiwei said quietly.
"But do they know I brought it?"
Yinglong couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Who knows, maybe they'll remember it when they're reincarnated as humans. β
Shiwei pulled a dogtail grass and teased the ants on the ground.
The ants were alarmed, but still refused to disperse, and it seemed that they were reluctant to give up the food in their mouths.
"You see that the people live on food, even the ants. β
Yinglong smiled, it turns out that all life in the world is like this, even ants are no exception.
Shiwei looked at Yinglong.
"Do you have any inspiration?"
Yinglong looked at Shiwei.
"But you are a student of the Chinese department, so would you use this example to write an article?"
Shiwei was surprised: "Write an article, use this example? Yinglong, don't be joking." β
Shiwei felt that Yinglong's words were a bit too casual, and it was not too serious to make a fuss about the life of the ants, but by extension, it might be a good article.
Yinglong thought for a while and asked Shiwei: "Do you want to be a writer in the future?" You are learning Chinese, and it would be a pity not to play to your advantages. β
Shi Wei smacked her tongue a little: "When you become a writer, you haven't thought that you have to be a writer to learn Chinese? Isn't it the same to be a secretary? β
Shiwei's words are very realistic, being a writer nowadays may not be like being a secretary to make money, and nowadays secretaries are also a good industry, and they are very decent.
Yinglong felt that Shiwei's words also made sense, if Shiwei really wanted to be a writer, maybe the future would be very difficult, and this road was also very lonely.
"But you can also think about it, when you have a job in the future, you can write something in your spare time and earn some manuscript fees. β
Shiwei thought Yinglong's words were very interesting, which should be a good idea.
"yes, that's a good idea, but it's boring to climb the lattice every day, but it's a good idea to write something to earn some money. β
Yinglong saw that Shiwei agreed with his idea, so he looked at Shiwei with relief.
"I think you are a talented girl, many people don't want to learn Chinese, think there is no future, but you chose this major, do you like literature very much?"
Seeing that Yinglong had asked the point, Shi Wei replied with a smile: "That's right, I like literature, that's why I chose this major." β
Yinglong didn't expect that he would guess Shiwei's idea, so he said: "Then write novels from now on, I will be your reader." β
Shi Wei saw that Yinglong actually took her words seriously, so she knocked on Yinglong's head: "You're too naΓ―ve, write novels, you should be a middle school writing essay? Is it so easy to write a novel of hundreds of thousands of words? Haha, you are really whimsical!"
Yinglong saw Shiwei laughing at him, and felt a little aggrieved: "You also look down on yourself too much, can't you write novels? Really, you are wasting your talent!"
Yinglong said it with a majestic spirit, and felt that Shiwei not only looked down on him, but also misunderstood his kindness.
Shiwei found that Yinglong was very serious and did not have a trace of hypocrisy, so she joked with Yinglong: "Then you give me a computer, otherwise it will be too laborious to write on paper with a pen, and my handwriting is not good, others will not be able to understand it." β
Yinglong was stunned, "Send the computer?But now the computer is so expensive, and I don't have that much money in my hand?" But Shiwei said that she couldn't let her down. β
"Send a computer, that's good, but I'll send it after I graduate and find a job, I'm still a student now, and I don't have that much money in my hands, but I remember, I'll definitely give you a computer in the future, trust me!"
Yinglong swears that although he has no money now, he will not be reluctant to send the computer to Shiwei when he has money.
Shi Wei saw Yinglong looking at her seriously, she seemed to be very sincere, if he had money, Shi Wei believed that Yinglong would definitely buy a computer for her, which she would not doubt.
Shiwei's heart was pounding, she intuitively felt that Yinglong was a serious person, and she didn't mean to lie to her, Shiwei felt that she didn't suffer a loss when she knew Yinglong's boyfriend, but it was hard to say in the future, who knows what would happen in the future, everything was hard to say, but Shiwei was not willing to lose Yinglong.
"Yinglong, I believe in you, you won't lie to me, so I hope we get along well in the future, don't lose each other, okay?"
Shiwei said this with deep affection, she was full of hope for Yinglong and didn't want to accidentally lose him in the future.
"Shiwei, remember me, in case we don't get together in the future, don't forget me, I really liked you. β
Yinglong was a little lost, he didn't know what would happen in the future, but Shiwei had already occupied a place in his heart.
"Yinglong, I know you like me, but do you love me?"
Shiwei asked him faintly, hoping that Yinglong would give her a satisfactory answer.
"I like you, don't I just love you?
Yinglong was stunned, could it be that Shiwei suspected that his feelings were not true.
"Like is like, love is love, so what do you think?"
Shiwei silently stared at the grass on the ground, her eyes flashing with a faint luster.
"Don't I love you?" Shiwei, are you too sensitive, I really love you, but Chinese generally say love as like, you know. β
Yinglong's face was red, he felt very shy, he felt very embarrassed to confess to a girl like this for the first time.
When Shiwei heard Yinglong say this, her heart was like a deer colliding, but her heart was filled with a sweet feeling.
Yinglong cares about her a lot, and Shiwei can feel it from his every word, this big boy is serious, not as casual as many boys do.
Shiwei sighed faintly, staring into the distance: "Yinglong, I believe in you, but I also want to say, no matter what happens in the future, don't blame me." Because the world is changing so fast, there are many things that we can't grasp, and although I don't want you to swear, even if we don't stay together in the future, don't forget that we have walked together. β
Yinglong felt that his nose was sour, why would Shi Wei say this, could there be something terrible in the future, why did Shi Wei have no confidence like him.
Yinglong was a little pessimistic, but he didn't expect Shiwei to be the same, he couldn't help but feel that he should be as strong as a man, otherwise how could he protect this weak girl.
Shiwei looks like a girl who needs strong arms to protect her, and if Yinglong is a weak person, then Shiwei will not be hurt.
Yinglong is determined to stand up, straighten his spine and be a strong man, and he doesn't want Shiwei to be wronged because of him.
Yinglong's heart lit up with a raging fire, and he suddenly felt that the temperature around him had risen by a few degrees, and he opened his arms and shouted, and the sound traveled far away with the air.
"Hey!"
Yinglong hugged Shiwei, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I love you!" and Shiwei's eyes flashed with joy, and her eyes rippled.
After speaking, Yinglong greeted a pair of lips and kissed Shiwei's petal-like red lips hard, with a bit of warmth.
Shiwei closed her eyes and met Yinglong's hot kiss, she didn't expect Yinglong to be so crisp, they kissed for the first time in this place.
Yinglong's kiss is very green and intoxicating, Shiwei can feel it, but this is also Yinglong's most direct confession.
After a few minutes, Yinglong sorted out his emotions and pulled Shiwei to stand up and walk somewhere else.
There was no one around, and the night was getting darker, and the sky shimmered with the glimmer of stars.
The night sky was clear, there was not a single dark cloud, and the evening breeze was unusually cool.
Shiwei felt very happy, following the pace of Yinglong, not leaving an inch.
Yinglong took Shiwei's hand and walked along the road, and their long figures were sprinkled under the light, as if two friends followed each other closely.
Then Yinglong sent Shiwei to the door of the dormitory, turned to leave, and returned to the dormitory with brisk steps.
